The original “rush-hour” confection is having a renaissance, and Union Station is taking guests into the center of the movement at the 2nd annual DTLA Donut Festival, Saturday, June 8, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., Union Station South Patio. The momentously mouthwatering event will showcase the donut in all its many forms: plain, glazed and filled; traditional; and new wave.

Guests can stroll through the “Hole Donut Marketplace”—a dozen donut vendors from L.A.’s old school cult favorites to trendy fashion-forward pastries featuring everything from scrumptious rings, crullers and long johns to fabulous fritters.

New this year:

• Voodoo Doughnut – Voted by Eater LA as one of the “Top 5 Most Delectable Doughnut Shops.”

To round out the grab-and-go breakfast offerings, The Rooster Truck, from “Chopped” and “Cutthroat Kitchen” competitor Rouha Sadighi, will serve up breakfast burritos, tacos and sandwiches. And to wash down the ultimate donut experience, Macchiato will serve coffee, tea and boba while a mobile expresso bar from Mobar & Co will offer specialty drinks including their signature Honey Lavender Latte!

The Donut Worry Be Happy activities area will feature baking demonstrations from celebrity baker, Jane Soudah, winner of 2016 Food Network “Spring Baking Championship” and author of "Delightful Desserts,” along with donut-themed arts and crafts.

Our first annual Donut Eating Contest, sponsored by Dazzling Donuts, is sure to put even the most-experienced donut aficionados into a food coma while a Find Your Center yoga workshop hosted by Mockingbird Yoga will allow guest to come down from their sugar high during two 30-minute classes for all fitness levels.
